That's an excellent bullet hell and the art is so good! The newspaper loading screen really sets the mood and tone for the game, while also providing useful information - it's excellent!

Wow, wasn’t expecting to see a Bullet Hell game in this jam! I got up to 9930 points. I liked the art aesthetic, and the boss designs were really cool! There were some neat bullet patterns that I encountered as well! The highscore menu was a nice touch too! I will say that my major issue with this game is that it’s so damn hard. It’s 100% a skill issue, and I get that these types of games are typically on the harder side. I’m just not cut out to be a pro gamer I guess. Anyways, good game from what I managed to get past. Great work!

The Children of SeleneNice, I wasn’t expecting a boss rush in the jam, Got 5320 score, then the panda showed up and it was game over. It’s actually really addictive, with a bit of polish on the core loops, it could be an amazing game. I really liked it 🦋🦋🦋

Out Of OrderNice bullet hell! The enemies look creepy, and the little backstory in the intro was a nice touch.

Phantom PlayI got to the boss of Act 2, but couldn't beat the guy.
So far I think it's a really solid shmup, controls are snappy, everything has high contrast and easy to see.
Especially liked the sprites, those are awesome.
Couldn't help but notice you're using Ogre engine. It's also not the first time I see a really good shump made with it. Is it actually a good engine for this kind of stuff?

Box for a HumanHello! Thank you for playing, I am using Shmup Creator an engine dedicated specifically for making shoot em ups, (my speciality is the art so I picked this no code engine), I believe the engine is made using Ogre engine if I am not mistaken, but it is an extraordinary engine if you want to make something fast enough and focus on gameplay/art.
